The town takes its name from Clovis I the first Christian king of the Franks, at least according to most reports; it is often reported that this is because the daughter of the settlement's railroad stationmaster was studying French language at the time of the town's naming and proposed the appellation.

The eastern New Mexico region was home to the Clovis culture, an anthropologically significant early group of Native Americans in the United States Americans. Before receiving the name Clovis the community was known as Riley's Switch. .
